“I’d be strongly inclined towards 10 man sections, especially given your BEF opposition – schutzen had a “book” strength of 12 men + 2 drivers, so 8 is quite considerably understrength, especially vs BEF, who presumably are also in 8s, when 8 was actually *full* strength for them in 1940, the 10 man section not appearing in the British army until late ’41. By having both sides at 8 men you’re effectively pitching the British in at 100% strength and the Germans at 67%.”
